District Judge Lawrence W. Parish's decision, however, pertained to Kevin Sweat's upcoming trial in the death of Ashley Taylor. Sweat is accused of killing her in 2011, and authorities have said evidence of Taylor's remains were found on property owned by Sweat's family.

The venue in the Taylor murder case was changed to Bristow in Creek County.

Sweat, 27, is also accused of killing Taylor Placker, 13, and Skyla Whitaker, 11, while they were walking down a dirt road in 2008.

Defense attorneys asked the judge in late March to move the trial out of Okfuskee County due to the high amount of media coverage.
